Notes

Disney Treasure is a cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. She is the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and the second vessel of the Wish class, following Disney Wish (2022).

The first two ships of the Wish class were ordered on March 3, 2016, and built by Meyer Werft at its shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Construction of the Disney Treasure began with the keel laying on March 30, 2023, and the ship was launched on August 3, 2024. She was completed on October 24, 2024, christened on November 19, 2024, in New York City, and entered service with her maiden voyage on December 21, 2024.

As a member of the Wish class, Disney Treasure is slightly larger than the preceding Dream class, with a gross tonnage of approximately 144,000, compared with about 130,000 for Dream-class ships, while retaining the same number of guest cabins. During development, the class was known internally as the Triton class. The class marked several firsts for Disney Cruise Line, including the adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a lower-emission fuel and the use of azimuthing podded propulsion (Azipod).

History

[edit]

In March 2016, Disney Cruise Line announced that it had commissioned two new ships, described as larger than Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy but with an equivalent number of staterooms.[6][7] A third ship of the class, the later Disney Treasure, was announced on July 15, 2017, at the D23 Expo.[8] Delivery was planned for 2022, but postponed until 2024 in 2020.[9] In March 2018, Disney Cruise Line released the first rendering of its new generation of cruise ships.[10][11] The 140,000-ton cruise liners would be LNG-powered and would accommodate at least 2,500 guests.[12] In January 2019, the class of ship was confirmed as Triton in public documents published by Port Canaveral,[13][14] however, is now following the standard naming of class after the first ship.[15] The first of these ships, Disney Wish, was delivered in June 2022.

On September 11, 2022, the sixth ship was officially announced as Disney Treasure at the D23 Expo. The ship is inspired by the theme of adventure, with the Grand Hall inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace which draws on inspiration from real-world Asia and Africa, as well as paying homage to Agrabah.[16]

On November 27, 2022, the first section of the ship arrived at Meyer Werft where construction took place.[17] The floating engine room unit ("FERU", 140 m × 39 m, 459 ft × 128 ft, including MAN type 12V 51/60DF engines and two LNG tanks) was built at Neptun Werft, Rostock and was transferred to Meyer Werft later.[18][19][20][21]

On March 30, 2023, the keel laying ceremony occurred at Meyer Werft with the keel coin showcasing Voyager Minnie, Captain Minnie's new adventure-themed outfit for Disney Treasure.[22][23] On July 12, 2023, Disney Parks Blog started an official "ship's log" documenting the shipbuilding process of Disney Treasure. This was updated on July 18, 2023, to debut the ship's stern characters: Captain Hook and Peter Pan.[24] The hull of the ship was completed in December 2023.[25]

The ship was floated in the drydock in March 2024 for the first time[26] and left the drydock in August. It left the shipyard towards Eemshaven on September 18,[27][28][29][30][31][32] where it arrived on September 19.[33][34] The ship left Eemshaven on September 25 at 23:14 (UTC+2) for Sea trials in the Skagerrak.[35]

On October 24, the ship was delivered in Eemshaven.[36] She left Eemshaven on October 29 (16:39 (UTC+1)) towards Funchal, Portugal (ETA 2024-11-03 07:00 (UTC+0)).[35][37]

On November 11, 2024, while on its delivery voyage, the ship rescued a family of four from a sinking sailboat off the coast of Bermuda. Disney Treasure was sailing 80 miles (130 km) from the boat whose bilge pump could not contain the flood. Disney Treasure rescued all four occupants.[38][39]

The christening took place on November 19 at New York City.[40] She set sail on her maiden voyage on December 21, 2024, from Port Canaveral, Florida, and includes 7-night voyages to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.[41]

Design

[edit]

The ship has a gross tonnage of 144,256[4] with 1,250 staterooms.[42]

On September 5, 2023, Disney Cruise Line shared a first look at their newest ship, Disney Treasure, which embarked on December 21, 2024. Disney Treasure, similar to Disney Wish, would have several restaurants, immersive spaces and experiences themed to various Disney characters and properties, including Walt Disney Pictures, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and Pixar. The ship features a Coco-themed restaurant, a Tomorrow Tower Suite inspired by EPCOT and a Jungle Cruise-inspired lounge.[citation needed]

In October 2023, Disney announced that the ship would also feature a bar themed after its attraction The Haunted Mansion, a first in the cruise line's history.[43]

Horns

[edit]

Disney Treasure features the signature Wish-class musical horns. In addition to all horns found on Disney Wish and other specialty horns, Disney Treasure's "Mickey" horns play the following tunes:

Recreation

[edit]

On-board activities

[edit]

The ship features a water coaster at sea, called the AquaMouse, which is similar to Disney Wish's version of the water coaster, but it includes a brand-new Mickey and Minnie Mouse short called Curse of the Golden Egg, which is be expected to include immersive show scenes, special effects and incredible ocean views, with some splashing, drifting and sliding through a mysterious ancient temple in search of legendary treasure.

Entertainment

[edit]

Disney Treasure includes three theatres:

  • Walt Disney Theatre (1,274 seats; live original productions: The Tale of Moana, Beauty and the Beast and Disney Seas the Adventure)
  • Wonderland Cinema
  • Neverland Cinema

Rotational dining

[edit]

Every night of a Disney Treasure cruise, guests dine at a different restaurant. This is called "rotational dining". On a Disney ship guests rotate along with their servers which helps develop the relationship between diner and wait staff.[44]

The rotational dining restaurants on Disney Treasure are 1923, located on deck 3 aft; Worlds of Marvel, located on deck 4 aft; and Plaza de Coco, located on deck 5 aft. As well as rotational dining, the Disney Treasure also has two specialty restaurants: PALO Steakhouse and Enchanté, which incur an additional cost and are exclusively for adults.
